Ticketmania??

[Dsnymouse]

I have a quick question? We plan to order admission tickets from Ticketmania with rave reviews from the Dis boards. When I checked out the sight to order it says "free shipping". My question is in the free catagory: they list "Priority same as USA shipping" or "USA shipping 8-12 business days". Are these the same? If I chose priority would they arrive sooner than 8 to 12 days? Any help would be great.

Figured I ask the boards before calling Ticketmania.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I ordered one ticket from them last month. They sent me an email with a shipping date (which was a few days from the date I placed my order) and an estimated arrival date range. I received a thick Priority Mail envelope from them with the ticket and all sorts of brochures, right on schedule. I was very satisfied with their service.

A day or so after I ordered, the price for the ticket went down $3 on their website, so their prices do change.

swilshire - did you get the free calling card and mini golf tickets in your package? The website says if you pick your tickets up at their office you get a media package, prepaid phone card and mini golf tickets but since they sent you the media package I wondered if they included the phone card and mini golf tickets also.

dsnymouse - I'm sure if you choose Priority you'll have your package in 3-4 days since Priority normally takes 3 days at the most. I would definitely choose Priority over regular US shipping if they don't charge any extra, especially if you're leaving soon.

I selected the priority mail option and received the tickets in about 4 days.

Also, I received all the free junk and it didn't include a phone card or golf tickets.

It seems that the discount is only $7 per ticket (for the tickets we're aiming for). Am I reading that correctly? Doesn't seem worth it, to me, unless we're actually aiming to give the ticket as a gift. For $7 per ticket, I'd just as well leave off purchasing tickets until I check into my resort.

To me, $7 not spent on the ticket is $7 that can be spent on lunch. For my family of 4, that's a savings of $28. I'd definitely pre-purchase my passes to save that amount of money. But, to each his own.

You can usually save additional $$ on Ticketmania with the MouseSavers discount.

No calling card or mini golf. I thought about picking up, but recall thinking that the mini golf would just cost us money because we would have to buy tickets for the rest of the family.

I had just stocked up on calling cards at Sams when I changed cell phone plans and now have free nationwide long distance. I still use them some for one kid when he's away, but he'll probably get his own cell phone soon.

Make sure you account for Ticketmania not chargeing tax or shipping (depending on the option you choose). Disney charges both. We recently saved just over 30.00 on 6 day non expiring tickets from ticketmania with the mousesavers disount.
